SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department of Education (ED), in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general
public and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed,
revised, and continuing collections of
information. This helps the Department
assess the impact of its information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand the
Department’s information collection
requirements and provide the requested
data in the desired format. ED is
soliciting comments on the proposed
information collection request (ICR) that
is described below. The Department of
Education is especially interested in
public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is this collection
necessary to the proper functions of the
Department; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the Department enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might the Department minimize the
burden of this collection on the
respondents, including through the use
of information technology. Please note
that written comments received in
response to this notice will be
considered public records.
Title of Collection: Application and
Employment Certification for Public
Service Loan Forgiveness.
OMB Control Number: 1845–0110.
Type of Review: A revision of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals or Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 801,261.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 400,631.
Abstract: The Department is
consolidating the forms that borrowers
must complete if they want to
ultimately receive the Public Service
Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) & Temporary
Expanded PLSF (TESPLF). There will
now be a single form for these programs.
The form is being renamed the Public
Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) &
Temporary Expanded PLSF (TESPLF)
Certification and Application. This
revised form includes the Employment
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Certification Form which is already part
of this collection. This consolidation of
forms will remove the need for
borrowers to separately complete the
PSLF application and submit a separate
email for the TEPSLF program. This
combining will also aid the Department
in streamlining the forgiveness
determination process.

financial literacy, knowledge of markets

personal financial understanding and
responsibility.
Definitions: These definitions apply to
the selection criteria for this
competition and are from 34 CFR 77.1.
Demonstrates a rationale means a key
project component included in the

research or evaluation findings that
suggest the project component is likely
to improve relevant outcomes.
Logic model (also referred to as theory
of action) means a framework that
identifies key project components of the
proposed project (i.e., the active
‘‘ingredients’’ that are hypothesized to
be critical to achieving the relevant
outcomes) and describes the theoretical
and operational relationships among the
key project components and relevant
outcomes.
Note: In developing logic models,
applicants may want to use resources
